[0030] The cylinder 9 is mounted on a bracket 12, and the vertically movable support plate 11 and the bracket 12 are connected by at least one set of slide rails 131 and sliders 132;

[0031] The cloth placing module 61 and the cloth collecting module 62 are both mounted on a supporting side plate 7, which is connected to the supporting plate 11 via a bracket 12;

[0032] A plurality of guide rollers 63 are provided between the cloth placing module 61 and the wiping block 1, and between the wiping head 2 and the cloth collecting module 62, which are in rolling contact with the wiping cloth 5, so as to guide and reverse the wiping cloth 5.

[0033] The supporting side plate 7 is mounted on a driving module, and is used to drive the supporting side plate to drive the wiping head on the wiping block and the wiping cloth outside the wiping block to move from one end of the surface to be wiped on the product to be wiped to the other end;

[0034] The area of ​​the wiping block 1 near the wiping head 2 is provided with a plurality of liquid outlets 3 that are in contact with the wiping cloth 5. In the direction of movement of the wiping cloth 5, the liquid outlets 3 are located on the side of the wiping head 2 near the cloth placing module 61. The liquid outlets 3 are connected to the liquid flow channel 4 provided in the wiping block 1.

[0035] The wiping head 2 is a PEEK wiping head. Using a wiping head with a certain degree of flexibility can not only improve the uniformity of the wiping force, but also avoid damage to the wiped object due to excessive wiping force. The wiping cloth 5 is a dust-free cloth.

[0036] The working principle is:

[0037] Used to detect defects on the coated surface of glass products (such as the glass back panel of electronic products), where the coated surface is the surface to be wiped;

[0038] When in use, the rolled strip of wiping cloth is installed on the cloth placing module, and one end of the wiping cloth is passed around the wiping block and the wiping head in sequence and then installed on the cloth collecting module. The wiping cloth can be driven by the cloth collecting module to move from the cloth placing module to the cloth collecting module, so that during the movement, one side surface of the wiping cloth successively slides in contact with the liquid outlet area on the wiping block and the outer surface of the wiping head;

[0039] Liquid (such as alcohol) is injected into the liquid flow channel on the wiping block through a pipeline, and the liquid can overflow from the liquid outlet to soak the wiping cloth wrapped around the wiping block and outside the liquid outlet;

[0040] Loading the product to be wiped onto a movable carrier with the coated surface of the product to be wiped facing upward;

[0041] Before wiping, move the wiping cloth soaked in liquid on the outside of the liquid outlet a short distance to the outside of the wiping head;

[0042] When wiping, first move the wiping block to the top of one end of the coated surface of the product to be wiped, and then use the cylinder to drive the wiping block downward so that the wiping cloth wrapped around the outside of the wiping head contacts the coated surface of the product to be wiped;

[0043] Next, the wiping block is driven to move the wiping head and the wiping cloth outside it from one end of the coated surface of the product to be wiped to the other end, so that the detection liquid soaked on the wiping cloth is evenly and comprehensively coated on the coated surface of the product to be wiped;

[0044] The pressure sensor installed between the cylinder piston rod and the support plate that drives the wiping block up and down provides real-time feedback on the wiping pressure between the wiping head and the product to be wiped during the moving wiping process. This facilitates monitoring and adjustment of the wiping pressure, improves the uniformity and stability of the wiping pressure, and thus improves the accuracy and consistency of defect detection. Specifically:

[0045] It can avoid the situation where the scraper head is worn or tilted during repeated wiping due to excessive pressure, which reduces the wiping effect and affects the accuracy of subsequent detection;

[0046] The pressure can be adjusted reasonably to ensure that the pressure on the glass product to be inspected is controlled within a reasonable range to avoid damage, especially to avoid leaving scratches on the surface of the glass product and causing three appearance damages (scratches, crushing and bumps). This problem is extremely important in the quality management of industrial production.

[0047] According to the different parameters of the coated surface of the glass product to be inspected, such as material, color, hardness, etc., the pressure can be finely adjusted within a precise range to obtain the most reasonable wiping pressure range, so as to optimize the wiping effect of defects on the product surface.

[0048] When the above-mentioned coated wiping mechanism is used, it is convenient to monitor and adjust the wiping pressure between the wiping head and the product to be wiped in real time during the moving wiping process, thereby improving the balance and stability of the wiping pressure. It can avoid excessive pressure causing wear or tilting of the scraper head during repeated wiping, and can also reasonably adjust the pressure to ensure that the pressure on the glass product to be inspected is controlled within a reasonable range, thereby avoiding damage to the glass product or leaving wiping scars on the surface of the glass product, causing three damage problems. The pressure can also be finely adjusted within a precise range, so that the surface defects of the product after wiping with appropriate pressure are optimally displayed, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0049] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
